Thanks to all for your responses.
It's nice, very nice to see all the changes happening with Calibre.

dwanthny, thanks for that pointer.
One of my wish list done already.

Worldwalker, sorry for making you feel old.. . . . . but I'm considerably older ;-)
I started with IBM 1130 assembler, BASIC and Fortran, then moved to IITran and if I remember correctly, and I may not, COBOL, on a System 7, IBM 360/30 and 50.

Bad code offsets. Hilarious. They make about as much sense as carbon credits!

Got into custom circuit design and away from computers for 10 years then back into the "mainframe" world about 82, retired in 95.

I like Mercedes Lackey, though I think I come from an earlier time with different authors, though some "classic" sci-fi is funny and outdated when read now.
I'll read just about anything except horror, and enjoy thrillers to romances along with a fair amount of "non-fiction" though I always remember the victors write the history books.
I think I'm going to organize my collection, then find the Regex's I need.
By that time Calibre will probably have all the features I want!

I see where you are coming from Kovid.
I just like to "store" metadata in at least 2 places, or in at least 2 ways for redundancy, and you did do that.

Your library file structure is hierarchal which I can easily access and find files.
You just chose to make Author_sort First Last instead of Last, First.
I was just trained differently. I'm a big boy and I'll adjust.

I am impressed at the breadth of knowledge and programming skills needed to write a program like Calibre. I doubt I could have done it in my best programming days, but then my skill sets were in different areas.

Funny, but one of the questions asked, and dwanthny answered, is in one of the new posts today.
Glad to see I'm not totally crazy in what I want to see as a "feature.

Thanks again to everyone.
